WASHINGTON .... arts
Whenever I have an opportunity
to roam around Washington,
where I lived and went to school
from the time I was ten until I was
21, I get new impressions of the
Nation's Capital, and the people
who live in it.
More and more I am impressed
with the feeling that Washing
ton is becoming t>he nation's cen
ter not only politically but in the
fields of science and the arts, as
well of information on every
imaginable subject.
In the Library of Congress, for
example, there are more books
and documents than in any other |
one place In the world, all indexed
and available for reference. A new
eight-million-dollar annex has just
been added to t-he Library to at- '
commodate the growing store of ,
knowledge on every subject un- (
der the sun.
The new National Art Gallery, ,
the gift of the late Andrew Mellon,
is nearing completion. It will
bouse the finest collection of paint-: 1
ings in the world, in addition to 1
two great art collections already 1
in Washington. Nearly all the im-'
portant scientific societies have '
headquarters in Washington, and
more and more national business,1
organizations are establishing 1
themselves in the Capital also.
PEOPLES Negroes
Every .race and nation of the
world is represented in Wasliing
ton, either by an ambassador and
his staff, or by larger groups.
Of the racial strains which make
up the American people there is
a higher percentage of Negroes
than the average for the whole na
tion. The largest Negio institution
of learning. Howard University,
is located iu Washington, turning
out doctors, lawyers and teachers
who go forfli to serve th^jge^ple
of tHeir own. race.
There is a large number of .N's-i
groes of both sexes employed in
the Government offices. Nearly all
official elevators are run by color
ed girls, and the messenger, door
keeper and janitor staffs of the
departments are practically all
Negroes. They get' good pay, life
jobs and pensions at retirement
age. A few Negroes hold really
important Government positions,
but tbey are the exceptions.
The majority of Washington Ne
groes live in alley slums, which,
furnish about the worst living
conditions to be found ip any|
large city. Many public officials
have fried to do something about j
the Washington slums, but little
has been done effectively.
VOTBS . . . . sc^cKiitioii
For years there has been a
strong movement to give the citi
zens of t lie District of Columbia
the right to rote. So many of those
holding Government offices, how
ever. find it important to retain
their voting residences ill their
home states, that the movement I
to give t-he District residents the
franchise has been blocked, by the'
fear of Negro control of the local
government as much as by any
other one cause. Nearly a third of
Washington's permanent residents;
are Negroes.
While separate schools are pro-'
vided for the colored folk, they!
cannot legally be segregated in;
Btreet cars or excluded from seats
in theaters. Once across the Poto
mac. in Virginia, Negroes have to
ride in "Jim Crow" cars.
FKUtUICK .... equality
1 seem to have got into a dls-l
cussion of racial prejudices. That J
subject is up toward the top of |
world discussions right now. It is
almost unescapable.
1 know few, if any. persons whol
do not have a feeling that some '
or all people of other races than!
bhelr own are inferioir in one way
or another. I believe that Is an
inherent and ineradicable trait of
human nature. But such prejudices
are no excuse for depriving those
we dislike of their common hu
man rights.
We can admire the achieve
ments of persons of a different
race without giving a blanket In
dorsement of the whole race. The
wise thing, It seems to me. Is to
tolerate all races and welcome
whatever contributions they can
make to the general good, without

either banishing them, as Hitler is

Equality under the law is one
thing, which every good American
should insist upon, especially If
the legal rights of one of another
race are infringed. But social
equality is something else. The
right to ?boose one's associates
and friends is as sacred as the
right to worship according to one's
individual conscience.
MUSIC .... achievement*
There are two races which
stand out among all oMiers fori
their achievements in the field of
music. They are the Jews and
the Negroes. Probably a majority
of the outstanding musicians of I
the past two centuries have been:
Jews. Certainly musical ability isi
nore common among Negroes than :
among the whit* races generally. ;
Many eminent critics of today
acclaim Marian Anderson, a Ne
gress. as the greatest singer of
modern times. In Washington no
hall large enough to hold the
crowds who waul to hear her can 1
lie obtained.
The largest auditorium in the;
Nation's capital is Constitution
Hall, which is owned by tlje
Daughters of the American Revo
lution. and the Dl.A.R. has' refused
to let it be used for the Anderson
concert. Heifntz, Klman. Menuhin
and many other famous Jewish
musicians have given concerts
there, but Marian Anderson has

bers of the D.A.R., and certainly

are racial prejudices and the line
is drawn sharply in Washington,
even against a great artist.

We Have Installed The Latest
Improved Cotton Seed
Treating Machine.
Capacity 400 Bushels Per Hour
Treated cotton need produce a better stand of
more vigorous plants and usually increase the
yield by improving crop quality; pays larger pro
fits by destroying disease organisms before tbcy
can do damage; prevents seed from rotting in
cold, wet soil and controls many diseases.
Treated seed require less seeil per acre to secure
a stand and can be planted earlier.
We will be glad to lend you treated or untreat
ed seed of the very best variety this spring. Or,
if you have any improved seed of your own we will
treat them for you cheaper and much better than
you can do it yourself.
It is very important that you get the proper
amount of Ccr6san; too much does harm, not
enough will not properly protect your seed. Our
machine has a graduated scale force-feed that ap
plies just exactly the right amount to each seed.
The cost will be about 15c per acre and will pay
you from $5.00 to $15.00 per acre profit.
See us before planting, we will be glad to show
it to you any time.
